dc.description.abstract |
The optimum yield of extracting agar from the Red Seaweeds (Gracillaria sp.) is obtained from the non-acid treated agar, while the acid treated seaweed gives an agar with strong gelling properties. The protein content, is very low in the Namibian red algae, with similar 3-6 anhydrogalactose absorbency at 438nm wavelength even if the seaweeds were treated under different treatments |

dc.description.abstract |
The ash content is relatively high and the gelling strength differs with the acid treatment. The higher the acid, the stronger the gelling properties |
